FROM THE DESK OF WYCKOFF TRADER (Read the Terminology at the bottom if you need clarification on WB-isms)
– 🐂 The Bull – Represents structural resilience, bid stacking, and market strength. If liquidity holds, the bull carries the weight
– 🐻 The Bear – Symbolizes liquidity exhaustion, price vulnerability, and market weakness. If bids vanish, the bear drags the market down.
– 👻 “GHOST – If the market doesn't have breath, it will fall due to the
lack of structure under the pressure of constant changing of belief.” – Wyckoff Trader
WHAT A WEEK!
The market goes up on hope and hype. Superman buries an idol in his tent. Mercury (MAGGA support) slips through his hands. (Full moon was July 10th)
You wont' see him at any weekend cage match anytime soon. And the nation, suffers…
IF only someone said something say a few weeks ago…
I think someone did on June 16th (From Wyckoff Trader; 6/14 AM Turn Newsletter)

In the AM TURN:
7/8 : Meet the new boss—same as the old boss. Perhaps the penguin is starting to swing to the left.
7/9 : Let's give it a week. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
7/10 : Meet the new boss—same as the old boss. Perhaps the penguin is starting to swing to the left. Perhaps it got little push today to the left.

P.S.
Enough of that. Lets get to the markets!
📈 The tape reveals an accumulation campaign unfolding through deliberate volume and controlled price movement. Markup sequences were initiated and tested, showing signs of strength without climax or structural failure. The Composite Man maintained control throughout the session, absorbing supply and positioning without panic, confirming the intent to support higher pricing.
📜 Big picture perspective
⚔️ Geopolitical Tensions, 🏆 Trade Tensions and Tariff Deadlines, 🛢️ US Fiscal Health Concerns,
– Monthly: Upthrust out of the last four months from last year. Pulled off the highs. Flirting with the halfback.
– Weekly: Holding the last two weeks high. Flirting with the halfback
– Daily: Took out the previous day's low. Found a bid.
The clock showed the way but it was not what you wanted. It's summertime trade. The markets are uncertain. Superman got Kryroptine nearby. This day best fits the clock and the turns.

🌒 🌍 After Hours Globex: – That's the dog (CASH) but what did the tail (PEONS) do? —WB
1. Tone Last Night: (Liquidity)
🦘🐂 Opens gap down. Gets a bid on the open. and trades up to the 80 handle and waits for the next open.
🏮 🐂 Trades down to the 70 handle and keeps a tight range waiting for the PEONS.
🏛️ 🐂 The let price drift down to the 60 handle and then start to take price back up.
2. Large Size: 🦘🐟 (3 tuna), 🏮🐟 (no tuna), 🏛️🐟 (no tunas)
Absence of size = absence of conviction. Liquidity flow was skeletal—designed to shape expectation, not execute dominance.
3. 7:00 AM / Premarket: 💲 (0 tunas) Trading 6282 recovered the Gap. Waiting on direction. Potential support from Friday. Looking for price to clear the 80 and hold. Ideal is up to 90 Fridays' Open / Floor trader pivot and then trade up to 6300 or 6340 handle. SO far just Retail drift.
4. News: – 📰 (No news of note. All time EST)
5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! Looking good! All time high fever.
6. Honing (turns): Spill up, AM LOW, (NO MID AM), lunch high, mid pm low, LAST HOUR HIGH.

"Looking good, Louis! Looking good!" – Bullish (high confidence)
"Looking good, but…" – Neutral (cautious optimism)
"Things just got ugly, Louis. Very ugly." (Black Swan)
"It's looking real bad for the bulls, Louis. Real bad." – Bearish (pessimistic)
"It's looking real bad for the bears, Louis. Real bad." – Bullish (optimistic)
🐟 (Minnows)
⏳ Lifespan: 1–2 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Momentary—tiny, rapid entries and exits
🔄 Interpretation: Their short biological life mirrors *fleeting market presence*. They appear as *blips* on the liquidity radar—numerous but not lasting.
🐟 (Sardines)
⏳ Lifespan: 3–4 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Mid-range, directional waves
🔄 Interpretation: Like their lifespan, they sustain presence a bit longer—*waves of flow* with follow-through. Not permanent, but *tactically significant*.
🐟 (Tuna)
⏳ Lifespan: 15–40 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Deep, anchoring, strategic
🔄 Interpretation: Their long biological endurance maps to *long-dwelling liquidity*. When they enter, they sit, influence, and stabilize. They're duration-defined presences**, just like their species.
🧖 "Dropping the Soap"
🏀 "Running with the ball"
👵 "momma got thrown from the train!"
📈 Up Turn – Higher highs and higher lows.
📉 Down Turn – Lower highs and lower lows.
↔️ Chop Turn – Bulls and Bears equally balanced.

🏀↓ smack it down or 🏀↑ bid it up (indicates a potential change in trend)
🧽 adding liquidity back into the market
The spine of the campaign is not simply bracketed by highs and lows—it’s defined by structural control across the range. From the initial flush at 6279 to the anchored print at 6311, each move was orchestrated, not incidental. The Composite Man didn’t chase price; he shaped its rhythm, using volume like a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.
6279 marked the moment of absorption—supply tested, weak hands flushed, but price didn’t collapse. That was the low where conviction held. It wasn’t a breakdown; it was a confirmation of control. Once proven, the market didn't just rebound—it progressed with purpose.
Price escalated into 6311 under heavy volume but with muted delta—meaning supply wasn’t unloading. That final hour wasn't euphoria; it was restraint. It was a print that screamed absorption. The Composite wasn’t exiting—he was anchoring, validating the high as structurally sound.
Between these points, every retracement served as a test, not a rejection. The 6290 pullback, the mid-afternoon drift to 6305—none pierced structure. They circled the campaign spine, reinforcing support through effort, not emotion. Distribution would’ve fractured this range. It didn’t.
So the spine—6279 to 6311—isn’t about distance. It’s about dominion. The Composite pressed, absorbed, and anchored without surrender. Within that range, cause matured, and markup found breath. That’s the truth etched in the tape.
